If your club owns a set of control stands, you can store the control codes and punch patterns for these control stands, and reuse the codes and patterns for later events. 

Condes call this a set of "Predefined control stands".

How to configure the predefined control codes

Before using the predefined control codes, they need to be configured.

1. To configure the codes, use the "File" / "Standard settings for this PC" menu, and then select the "Predefined control stands and punches" tab. 
2. Using this page, you can configure settings related to a standard set of control stands and punch patterns.

How to use the predefined control stands

When you create a new event, the predefined control codes are used, if this is configured in the Predefined control stands and punches settings.  You can override the first control number in the Settings for this event dialog.

For each control you create in the event, you can configure that the control uses "predefined punch" pattern, or you can enter an individual pattern for the control.  The individual pattern is specific to the event file that the control belongs to, whereas the "predefined punch" is the same for all events on the PC. 

Note: The file containing standard control codes and punch patterns remain on your PC, and the punch patterns are not copied to the event file, so if you copy (or e-mail) the event file to another PC, the predefined punch patterns remain on your PC.  You need to copy the punches file to the other PC for Condes to use these punches on that PC.
